Qantas Lounge Access Help

[Brendan Carrick]

Hi Guys,

I am brand new to this site/forum. I'm not a frequent flyer at this stage, but I am a long time traveller hoping to help and be helped.

My wife and I are taking our 2 yr old back to the USA in November to see her side of the family, flying with Qantas (economy).

Being such a long flight, it would be great to get access to their lounges in Melbourne and LAX.

Can anyone help? I am a Bronze FF member, so I know that's no help.

Cheers,

How long are you going for? You can get an AA Admiral's Club 30 day membership which will give you access to Qantas and AA lounges when flying QF/AA.

Only if on an AA flight number. As there have been recent changes to eligibility it is probably best to check the AA site as to what provides access and what doesn't.

Below is what the AA site says about 'Admittance' ; silent on QP. As this is the subject of recent changes, and not all are across them (including me), I suggest a phone enquiry to Qantas re using the 30 day membership - and it is full Admiral's Club membership, (as opposed to a 'pass'), QF issue notwithstanding. If you do call, can you let us know the answer? You may need to emphasise that the 30 day thing is a membership, not a 'pass'.

The membership card is the property of American and must be returned upon request.
